Demi Lovato: I’ve Lost A Lot Of Friends Since Rehab

Demi Lovato had a lot to reassess after leaving rehab — especially when it came to her social circle.

The “Heart Attack” singer, who had been very open about her struggles with weight, said people she thought were her friends quickly abandoned her after her three-month stint in a treatment facility for self-mutilation and an eating disorder.

“A couple of months before I went to rehab, I had a birthday party and there were a couple of hundred people there. It was full of people who I considered my closest friends,” she told UK’s Company magazine. “When I turned my phone on after being in rehab for three months, I expected lots of text messages and phone calls. I had four texts. That was a wake up call.”
